I know, my fault - I just need to revisit the link with the sound turned down. Venice in black and white somehow seems to lack the extravagance of Venice in life. We were there in 2006 and stayed at the Hotel Gabrielli Venezia on the Riva Degli Schiavoni a bit east of the Piazza San Marco.

My wife doesn't want me ordering online. So, I drove over to Blue Moon. It's only on the other side of town but it takes me about 40 minutes to get there. You should be thankful Paul... :-)

Yikes! The sound blasting made me cringe...

Having one would only make me feel guilty that I wasn't shooting more film. I think I've decided that without the ability to wet print from my negatives continuing to shoot film is a bit nuts. Besides, I'm really enjoying shooting the D810 :-)

Pete, that Jobo ATL 1500 looks great but at $2000 (used) it's a bit on the spendy side for as much film as I do.

Pete, by now you probably know that I have no resistance... :-) I purchased the Nikkor 50/1.4 that was used to take the first 4 photos as well as the Nikkor 70-300 that was used to take the one of the stock of film in the rear of the store. I didn't seriously look at any cameras.

There are two of them that chase each other when one or the other is at the feeder.

Thanks Gar!

We still have bright buds on the Geraniums on the last day of November.

Looks like an awesome cup of coffee Gar! Hope everyone who reads this board has a great day no matter if it's a holiday where you are or not.

At least you got a good shot walking to the site.

How does one get a fly to stay still long enough for a portrait?
